Ingredients
2.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of kosher salt and pepper
Buttermilk Herb Dressing:
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
⅓ cup buttermilk
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (plus more for garnish)
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (plus more for garnish)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Pinch of kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
-
Cook potatoes: Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold salted water, bring to boil, and cook until fork-tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and cool slightly.
-
Smash potatoes: Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet or plate. Gently smash each potato with a glass bottom or potato masher, keeping them in one piece.
-
Season potatoes: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
-
Prepare dressing: Whisk together Greek yogurt, buttermilk, garlic, chives, dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
-
Combine: Fold smashed potatoes gently into the dressing until evenly coated.
-
Garnish & serve: Sprinkle extra chives and dill on top. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 1 hour to meld flavors.
Notes
Use gentle pressure when smashing to prevent potatoes from breaking apart.
Refrigerate for an hour to enhance flavor but can be served immediately.
For dairy-free versions, use plant-based yogurt and milk substitutes.
